Famous Nollywood actress Regina Daniels recently shared a funny and interesting story about how she met her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, who is 63 years old.
During a live Instagram session, Regina talked about the challenges she faced from her family when she first fell in love with him.
Regina explained that she met Ned while she was out with one of her old boyfriends.

Before finding love with Ned, Regina joked that she had around 20 boyfriends.
She also addressed rumors that her family pressured her into the marriage, saying, “People thought my mom made me marry him, but actually, my family was against it at first.” Her mother was particularly opposed to her marrying someone much older.
Despite the initial disapproval, Regina and Ned got married in May 2019 in Delta State. Their relationship grabbed a lot of attention because of their 38-year age difference. At the time of their marriage, Ned was already married to five other wives. But he was clear about his choice, saying, “I wanted a wife from my area, and Regina was perfect for me. She ticked all the boxes.”
Regina’s story reminds everyone that love can sometimes show up when you least expect it!
